Vehicle Description
You know those guys who at the cars shows with something so special
they get to put a mirror under their classic? Want to join them?
This 1969 Pontiac Firebird has been bathed in bold Hugger Orange
even on its undercarriage. If that doesn't already entice you,
maybe the beautifully restored coupe body, A/C, and
performance-built 350 V8 will.
Let's start with what immediately grabs your attention, the paint.
We called it Hugger Orange because that's the name most people know
it by, but real Pontiac fans know this is Carousel Red. It's a
genuine '69 Pontiac color, but you've never seen it like this
before. There has been so much invested in painting it from
end-to-end you'll swear you're looking at a candy-coated Firebird.
It's obvious this coupe was built for show, and so a huge
investment in the best panel fit and straightest sheetmetal was
made before the primer even went onto the body. Competing with the
paint for shine is the outstanding brightwork in places like around
the headlights, the beak-like front bumper, and the stylish rear
bumper. The package is finished off with iconic touches like the
tachometer mounted on the dual cowl hood and the iconic American
Racing Torq Thrust wheels.
You paid a little bit more for a Pontiac back in the day, and the
difference can be seen inside where there's a delightfully upscale
bucket seat interior. This is another place where the restoration
is absolutely evident. The black vinyl on the seats, door panels
and headliner feel like today is 1969. Black might attract heat,
but that's not your concern because this is a cold blowing air
conditioned car. There's nice wood paneling on the center console
that also matches the texture surrounding the gauges and
AM/FM/cassette stereo. But we bet what you really noticed was how
the bold exterior paint was custom applied to the glove box lid and
three-spoke sports steering wheel.
You should put on sunglasses before popping the hood. We dare you
to find another component that can be turned into brightwork. There
was over $3,000 spent in rebuilding the engine, so it is much more
than just the show-worthy shine. Once you look past the chrome and
amazing paint on the inner fenders and firewall, there's a
performance-built 350 cubic-inch V8. This has also upgrades such as
a high-rise intake and four-barrel carburetor. It makes an
impressive rumble from the dual exhaust. But when you look at those
stainless pipes in the pictures, something else grabs your
attention. The full undercarriage, suspension components, and even
the traction bars are painted orange/red. This is absolutely the
kind of appearance that wins big awards. But don't be afraid to
drive it to the car shows. With features such as power steering,
three-speed automatic transmission, and front disc brakes, this
Firebird was built to be just as much a Saturday night cruiser as
it is a Sunday show winner.
You know what people love to see, and this is it! Here's an
exceptionally clean and custom build that even includes the
restoration receipts and factory buildsheet to show the judges. We
know you've been doing a mental tally, and so you know the paint
and bodywork alone would cost you more than this Firebird is
asking. So no matter if you call it orange or red, you'll be green
with envy if you miss out on this deal. Call today!!!
